Huron City Museums hosted the sixth annual Pioneer Day on Saturday. The day included presentations on the fires of 1871 and 1881 and the history of Bad Axe. Visitors also toured the grounds, viewed antique dresses in the house of Seven Gables and listened to the musical styling of the Blue Water Ramblers.

Dill McDonald, left, inspected a photograph of the museum’s house the Seven Gables. McDonald visited the house to see where his mother had once worked as a maid.

The Blue Water Ramblers’ Jim Foersch on banjo and Bear Berends on guitar sang songs about Michigan’s Great Lakes and lumberjack Paul Bunyan to a small crowd gathered in the church.
